Have you ever thought about the way elderly people run this country? When it comes to any other job, old people are forced into retirement long before they turn seventy years old.
In politics, the 60 and 70 year olds are still in charge.
This doesn’t make sense to me, because if a company doesn’t trust an old person to manage a department, how can old people effectively manage the entire nation? Personally I think that the elderly are a resource of wisdom and knowledge. My next door neighbor Benny was an HVAC repair tech for over twenty years. Physically he is not capable of doing the heavy lifting of HVAC repair, but mentally he knows the job as well as anyone! The last time I needed a tuneup done on my little air conditioner I didn’t call the store I went next door and talked to Benny. For the cost of a couple of beers Benny sat in his wheelchair and guided me step-by-step through the air conditioner tuneup process. We were a little slow at times, but Benny was as sharp as ever when it came to navigating the complexities of the air conditioner components. It’s safe to say that Benny has forgotten more about air conditioners than I will ever know. The tuneup went so well that I am going to invite him over again next weekend and help me tune up my furnace. I won’t need to use the furnace for a few more months, but I might as well get it checked out right now.
